Radiation of pain also points towards it.
Burning sensation is due to Gastritis. Take any over the counter Antacid for the same.

CT Abdomen.
Urine routine test
Thanks.

It's not necessary that blood count may always reflect it.

Follow up.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for follow up my dear,
You need to understand that symptoms are suggestive of fact that something is wrong with the body.
Now without proper investigation giving a lame suggestion to a patient that don't worry it's nothing dangerous would be wrong.
Please atleast go through the baseline investigation suggested for a sure shot answer.
However 99% it's not life threatening rest 1% depends on investigation report.
Thank you!
